The June number of the st. I suis Mag

and in excellent Typographical finish, and full
of interesting matter. The illustrations are
all good. 1t contains poem-"A Mav-Day
Intrusion"-by Judge Emerson, bright and
sparkling with the ''songs Of birds and bead
teous May" The artist in his illustration of
the poem, seems to have caught view of the
chasm at the'falls of Evangeline" on''Sunset
Mountain" when The poem was PROBABLY
written. Copies of the Magazine can, we
suppose, be had of Mrs. Davis. 1t should be
read by everyone. The Pittsburgh Chroni-
Gle says of the poem: "The st. Louis Mag
dztne is gradually pushing its way up
amongst the great magazines of the country.
Its June number, though less in size, is
equal to any of them in quality. We have
looked IN vain to find anything in the Cen
tary Ha,per's, SCI :0ne,'s or the Atlan.ic, for
the month, SO sweet, and so redolent with
the odors of spring, and the music Of birds,
as the little poem-"A May-Day Int, usion."
